It's been a few weeks since I last posted so I wanted to share a quick update on my bearded wonder. Tolkein is growing like a weed!

I thought it was about time to post some updates on Tolkein's growth. She's steadily getting bigger and sheds about every two weeks. She's a healthy eater who loves crickets and Phoenix Worms (black soldier fly larvae). Right now, she doesn't have much interest in veggies but hopefully she'll...

I'm so happy to hear your little one is doing so much better! Please keep us posted :)

About the temperature, how are you measuring it?

That's wonderful to hear that he's moving normal. Hopefully someone with more expertise will be along shortly to help you out :)

Aww, what a cutie! Welcome to the forum :D

Hi there. I'm sorry to hear that your baby took a tumble. Are you absolutely sure that nothing is broken? It might be in your best interest to see if there is a reptile vet in your area that could check him out just to make absolutely sure.

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that your little one isn't doing so great. Could you please give us a rundown of the conditions in his enclosure (temps, how close he is to the UVB, etc.). That might give us a better idea of what may be going on. Someone with more knowledge should be along soon to...

Thank you! Yes, Tolkein is just a tiny nugget. I'm not exactly sure how old she is, but her body is only as long as my index finger.

I had to give Tolkein a bath today as well to get rid of the baby food that had dried on her. Her nose was orange from the squash baby food and her beard was green from the green beans :lol: I'm so happy to hear that your little one is feeling some better. Please keep us posted!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to show off Tolkein, my little one, and her big buddy Falkor. Falkor is 5 years old and belongs to a friend of mine. He was my first introduction to beardies and I absolutely fell in love. Tolkein: Falkor: The Comparison:

Hi there! I hope your baby is doing better now that it's been a few days since you posted this. Can we get an update? I also wanted to suggest some green bean baby food. I've been feeding it to my own baby beardie for about two days now to get something in her belly and she absolutely loved it!

Hi everyone! I wanted to give you all an update on my sweet girl. She finally allowed me to soak her today and ate several insects in addition to more green bean baby food. It seems that her appetite is returning finally :) She does, however, run a bit from my hand when I put it in her enclosure...

Here is my little one today :) I found out that she really likes green bean baby food. I also got her to eat about 4 calciworms and two crickets (unless they're hiding!). She's seeming to be much better today. How's she look to you all? I stopped by a local reptile store today and was talking...

She seems to be basking much more than she was on Sunday. When I held her then, she'd turn into a limp noodle in my hands but today she's much more alert. I removed the basking rock I had in her enclosure so now she's using her habba hut to sit on. Shortly before I turned off her lights for the...

Hey everyone! I just wanted to give y'all a quick update on Tolkein's condition. I was only able to get her to take a few licks of baby food this morning so she's still not apt to eating. I couldn't tempt her with a cricket either. Luckily she's still with us though for the time being. I'll be...

Thanks Tracie! That's a great idea about the liquid calcium. I did mix a bit of the powder in with the baby food as well so that she can hopefully get it that way.

Thank you all so much for your help and support. I'm so glad I found this forum as a new beardie mom. My experience is with iguanas. I'm really hoping she'll pull through this. Since she's not accepting any live food, I'll continue with the baby food as much as she'll eat it. Right now, it's...

Thanks for coming to this post :) There's not any plastic covering the bulb and plan to remove the plastic when I get a fixture to mount inside her enclosure. I'll also use your suggestion of moving her habba hut to her basking side. This just seems to have happened so quickly that I'm floored...

I've never returned an animal before. I get too attached for that. She's only drinking a small amount each time but I'm hoping it'll be enough to keep her hydrated. I tried doing a shallow bath but it was too stressful for her and she kept dunking her head with her thrashing about. That's a good...
